The Relegation Thread 2017/2018

I voted for West Brom, Stoke and Swansea.
Let's see how this pans out.

I got 2/3. I voted for Huddersfield.

Sad to see Swansea go down. The board have serious questions to answer. They were one of the best run clubs in the football league until they were sold to the yanks. Then they promptly appointed an amateur in Bob Bradley who only got the job because of his passport.

It went wrong before Bradley. The cracks appeared during Monk's last months and then Guidolin, Bradley and Clement were all wrong choices. Huw Jenkins has so much to answer for, brokering a deal with the new owners without involving the fan groups and then completely failing to properly address the footballing matters.

As has been said elsewhere, having to perform great escapes every season guarantees failure eventually.

Yeah, a lot of Swans fans I know think they’ve been trying to do things on the cheap way too much.

Selling their two main attackers last summer is what has killed them.

Shame about Swansea. Didn’t want them,Saints or Huddersfield to go down.

An absolutely incredible achievement by Huddersfield to stay up, especially getting points from ManC and Chelsea away as two of their last three games to do it.

And as an Aussie to see Aaron Mooy playing such an important role makes me proud. Such a good little player.

So West Brom now gone and SCBC all but safe as well its between Swansea and Huddersfield. A point for the Terriers and its all set. Swansea 9 goals behind Southampton regardless of results.
Lets hope Huddersfield get that point tomorrow!

I'm aware this is for Southampton, but what does it stand for? I've always wondered

I think it's South Coast Big Club. It makes me cringe.

A quote from their old chairman almost 20 years ago means some still mock them?

Football fans really are elephants.
